In most provinces, only a doctor or psychologist can diagnose autism. A tutor helps with what you see at school and at homework time, with or without a diagnosis.
Your child holds it together all day, then homework at night is one demand too many and everything falls apart.
A new teacher, a supply day or a changed schedule can unsettle your child for the rest of the day.
Word problems, figures of speech and open questions such as “explain your thinking” leave your child stuck on where to start.
Noise, bright lights or a crowded hallway leave your child too drained to take in the lesson that follows.
Look for a tutor who brings structure and patience: a predictable routine, visual steps your child can follow, and work that starts from their interests and strengths. Tell the tutor what helps, and agree on a plan together.
Surprises and changes can make it hard for your child to settle. A tutor can use a visual schedule, so your child knows what comes first, what comes next and when the lesson ends. You can ask the tutor to show any change ahead of time.
One full page of homework can look overwhelming before your child even starts. A tutor can split big assignments into short, concrete steps, with a timer and planned breaks. Ask whether typing instead of handwriting would help, so your child sees progress rather than a wall of work.
Hidden meanings can leave your child unsure what is really being asked. Look for a tutor who explains them directly, with examples and visuals. You can also ask for sentence starters that make written answers easier to begin.
Noise, lighting or a long sit can wear your child out before learning even starts. Tell the tutor about your child's sensory needs, so you can plan breaks and the space together. A tutor can also draw on the topics a child loves most.
Wherever your child focuses best: online, at your home, or in a quiet study room at a public library.
A quiet study room gives structure without the distractions of home. Meet in an open study area or a booked room.

More writing, group work and inference questions arrive, so a tutor can help break assignments down and explain the language behind them.
Several teachers, longer projects and exams call for help with planning, organization, test preparation and speaking up for what helps.

Questions about matching, scheduling or pricing? Reach us whichever way suits you, and our team will take it from there.
No. Many families start while they wait for an assessment, and a diagnosis comes from a doctor or psychologist, not a tutor. Tell us what calms your child, what overwhelms them and how they communicate best, and we match you with a tutor who has worked with autistic students.
Yes. Share the plan and ask the tutor to use the same accommodations and goals. Plans have different names across Canada, such as an IPP in Alberta or a plan d'intervention in Quebec. The school leads the plan; you can ask the tutor to work alongside it and keep you updated.
For some children, yes: learning from home can mean less noise, no travel and a familiar space. Others focus better face to face. You can choose online, at your home or at a public library, and switch if the first choice doesn’t suit your child.
